Lots of Flowers

Challenge time at Get Creative Challenges and this time around our sponsors are, KNITTY KITTY DIGIS, QKR STAMPEDE, WINK WINK INK and the theme is "Lots of Flowers" I'm really a bit plain when it comes to card making so adding flowers is always a challenge for me. I used a partial section of a stamp for my sentiment and it picked up a small amount of ink in a couple of places so to my horror I had to add masses of bling to cover up a couple of small spots. It was the only thing I could do after already having everything else ready on the card. So.... if you follow my posts you will know all this extra embellishment is not my usual thing.
Here is what I ended up with...... I also tried a new fold using a die cut to create it.

Recipe: 
White card from stash, SU Tempting Turquoise cardstock and SU Real Red cardstock
DP is  from 15cmx15cm paper pad from The Craft Stall
Image is from QKR Stampede - In Love Digital Image
Sentiment from a magazine freebie set of stamps - Hummingbird Symphony
Dies - Nestie Labels Eight, Nestie - Standard circles and Scalloped Circle
Punch - MS leaf punch
Flowers from Little Birdie and assorted ones from stash
Bling - Stash
Copic Markers
Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad
D/S tape roller and foam dots, tacky glue

Come on over to the challenge blog and enter something of your own. We would love to see it.
Thanks for stopping and please leave me a comment if you have time.
Hugs, Sandy

To Have and To Hold

It's a public holiday today so we've had a long weekend to play with! We've been babysitting two of our grandies and as our son is working away from home and our DIL was interstate we decided to head off for an overnight stay with our son and then leave the two grandies there today. DIL and our eldest granddaughter were arriving there today as it's school holidays. It was a pleasant little trip and got to walk down the jetty and along the foreshore on a wonderful Spring Day.
Well it's now quite late and I've realised that I haven't done my post for the new challenge at Get Creative Challenge. Our theme is - Wedding and the sponsors are the wonderful ~ All Dressed Up, Bugaboo Stamps and The Fantasy Art of Nikki Burnette
